Hello again! We are approaching the finale of this project, with this version we see the addition of 11 new vehicles, Some changes to the BRs of some vehicles, and saw the removal and changing of certain vehicles to improve the “uniqueness” of our Tree! To Start, lets go over some of the new vehicles!

In addition to vehicles being added, some other vehicles were removed or changed:
Changed/Removed Vehicles:

-
“Bhishma Late” has been changed to “Bhishma Mk.III” for better realism
-
“QRSAM” has been removed (Multi-vehicle SAM System)
- Yes, Gaijin is currently working on this concept, but for now we’d rather it replaced by a self-sufficient vehicle.
-
“Crusader I” has been removed (Never Used by Indian Army)
-
“NAMICA Mk.2” has been removed (Paper Vehicle)
-
“BTR-80 PGR” has been removed (Real BTR-80 PGR does not have 30mm cannon)
In order to better match in-game BRs and realistic assumptions, the BRs of some vehicles have been changed:
BR Changes:
-
“Arjun Mk.2 (P)” has been raised to 11.7
-
“Bhishma Mk.III” has been raised to 11.7
-
“🛞AMX-13” has been raised to 6.7
-
“M4A1E6/9” has been raised to 5.3
-
“Trishul CV” has been raised to 9.3 and rank 7
And we’ve done some minor changes and fixed some inaccuracies just to keep the TT alive and fresh:
Minor Additions/Changes/Fixes:
-
Added a “Special Thanks” Section to team members and contributors
-
Images of “DRDO 90” & “DRDO 105” have been switched to their correct cards
-
Card image of the “Ajeya CI” has been replaced
To conclude with the new tree statistics, the tree now has a grand total of 130 vehicles, beating over the entire GB ground tree and is just behind the American Tree, the US tree having 133 vehicles. We’ve managed to also reduce the again amount of copy-pastes in the tree, from 20% to 18%, and we will keep trying to keep the number going down.
Overall, we look forward to hearing your feedback and continuously strive to improve until version 9.
Happy Hunting!
